People only click like and subscribe because their other options were taken from them. They got tired of the people speaking up so removed the options to do so.

You're right that most influencers aren't worth knowing any further, but Hank is one of the exceptions. I wouldn't even call him an influencer honestly, that's way WAY too generic of a term for what he's done. His excitement for knowledge and learning, and spreading the things he learns, has helped a generation with thinking skills and getting them interested in the sciences.

I've got the same one. It's lasted several years at this point. Aiming is a bit of a pain, but it does the job.

On the software side there's plenty of linux alternatives to the windows only stuff. Not at my computer to check program names, but my 12 side button mouse is just as usable as it was back on windows.

Not who you responded to, but they look spray painted. That's gonna look fine until it's actually used, then it'll be a flaky mess

Wasn't IP infringement, but patent. That was one of the big things pointed out when this all started, if there had been any IP theft they would have led with that.

Okay, but that doesn't answer the question. You're claiming 1200dpi is very low, but aren't backing that up.

That doesn't sound right, so I pulled up the specs of my Canon Pixma. It's also 1200dpi, so this matches up with my regular consumer printer.

What printers are you using where 1200dpi is low?

Edit: Pulled up an Epson EcoTank and even that's at 1440dpi

Can't even read their post, and I'm not disabling my network adblock for it.

By "automatically" tagging music, are they using their own AI to tell if something is AI? Surely there won't be any problems with the hallucination machine checking to see if something was hallucinated, and actual indie artists won't be constantly flagged and their revenue stolen. /s

Even AI can't do this. It is an impossibility. AI might be able to make the shape, but it will NEVER be able to interpret the intent of that shape. It will never know if a cylinder is meant for a gun or for a rolling pin. It will never know if I'm making a trigger for a gun or a replacement trigger for my hot glue gun.
